BCBA Exam Practice Questions With
Correct Answers
Dependent Group Contingency - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The group's reinforcer is
| | | | | | | | |
dependent on the behavior of an individual or small group of individuals.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Independent Group Contingency - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-All members of a group
| | | | | | | | |
|are offered a contingency, but only the individual's who meet the contingency
| | | | | | | | | | | |
earn the reinforcement.
| |
Interdependent Group Contingency - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In order for the
| | | | | | | | |
group to earn reinforcement, all of the individuals in a group must meet the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
criterion of the established contingency.
| | | |
Response Prompts - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Act on the response itself, NOT on
| | | | | | | | | | |
the antecedent stimuli (e.g. verbal, model, physical prompt).
| | | | | | |
Stimulus Prompts - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Act on the antecedent stimuli, NOT on
| | | | | | | | | |
the response (e.g. movement, position, redundancy).
| | | | | |
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) - CORRECT
| | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-A procedure in which behavior cannot be emitted simultaneously
| | | | | | | | |
with the challenging behavior (e.g. the behavior being reinforced and the
| | | | | | | | | | |
behavior on extinction cannot occur at the same time).
| | | | | | | |
,Differential Reinforcement of Alternate Behavior (DRA) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A
| | | | | | | |
procedure in which one reinforces occurrence of behavior that provides a
| | | | | | | | | | | |
desirable alternative to the problem behavior; alternate and challenging behavior
| | | | | | | | | |
are not incompatible.
| |
Differential Negative Reinforcement of Incompatible/Alternate Behavior
| | | | |
(DNRI/DNRA) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Terms used to refer to differential
| | | | | | | | | |
reinforcement procedures that specifically involve escape as the reinforcer.
| | | | | | | |
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A
| | | | | | | | |
procedure in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the challenging
| | | | | | | | | | |
behavior.
|
Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Responding (DRH) - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for
| | | | | | | |
emitting behaviors that are at or above a pre-established rate; helps to increase
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
behaviors that are too infrequent.
| | | |
Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates of Responding (DRD) - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement when the
| | | | | | | | |
number of responses in a specified time period is less than, or equal to, a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
prescribed limit; helps to decrease behaviors that occur too frequently, but not
| | | | | | | | | | | |
eliminate it entirely.
| |
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding (DRL) - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement only if the
| | | | | | | | |
behavior occurs following a specific period of time during which it did not occur
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
, or since the last time it occurred; by increasing IRT, you are lowering rate of
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
responding.
7 dimensions of ABA- Behavioral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Observable events.
| | | | | | | |
7 dimensions of ABA- Applied - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Improves socially
| | | | | | | | |
significant behaviors. |
7 dimensions of ABA- Technological - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Defines procedures
| | | | | | | | |
clearly and in detail so they are replicable.
| | | | | | |
7 dimensions of ABA- Conceptually Systematic - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-All
| | | | | | | | |
procedures used should be tied to the basic principles of behavior analysis from
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
which they were derived.
| | |
7 dimensions of ABA- Analytic - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A functional relationship
| | | | | | | | | |
is demonstrated.
|
7 dimensions of ABA- Generality - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Extends behavior
| | | | | | | | |
change across time, settings, or other behaviors.
| | | | | |
7 dimensions of ABA- Effective - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Improves behavior in a
| | | | | | | | | | |
practical manner, not simply making a change that is statistically significant.
| | | | | | | | | |
Mentalism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Approach to explaining behavior that
| | | | | | | |
assumes an inner dimension exists and causes behavior (Freud)
| | | | | | | |
